Clouds

Lying down, looking up,
At a sleepy blue sky.
Up through the clouds
My thoughts take a sigh.

An escape, a release,
From life's hectic ride.
Run away for a peace
Where the grass is still green.

I see your face up in the clouds,
Hear your whisper in the breeze,
Stepping through white and gold daisies,
Drifting through your memories.

We pass time together,
I was happy just near you.
But you were a lonely place,
When I tried to love you.

It is time to say goodbye,
And turn my back to the hill.
One last look up to the sky,
And leave your face there in the clouds.

It shouldn't be so hard to leave what I never knew,
But wherever I go I'm chased by reflections of you.

I see you face up in the clouds,
Hear your whisper in the breeze,
You'll always be there,
Drifting through my memories.
